    About this ebook

    In this action-packed thriller, a mysterious man from a woman’s past suddenly returns, raising the suspicions of her influential husband—and setting off a series of alarming events.

    Paul Reeves is an immigration lawyer whose true obsession is collecting maps of New York City, an art form made all the more precious by an increasingly digital world. One day, he abandons work to attend an auction with his neighbor, Jennifer Mehraz, the beautiful young wife of an ambitious Iranian financier, hoping to acquire an unusual map.

    Midway through the auction, though, a handsome man in fatigues turns up, and Jennifer abandons Paul without a word, leaving him so distracted he almost misses his chance at the map he’s long coveted.

    The man’s appearance triggers increasingly unfortunate incidents, as the people surrounding Jennifer—including her jealous husband, who is eyeing a career in politics—attempt to figure out who the mysterious stranger is. But Jennifer isn’t talking.

    Despite Paul’s growing concerns, when he is informed that one of the world’s rarest maps is up for sale, all his thoughts turn to securing it. But will the illicit goings-on across the hall interfere with the biggest deal of his life?

      Incredibly simplistic plot line and very predictable ending. The red herrings were too overtly obvious and that only left one male character as the killer. I used to enjoy her books, but do not think I will read another one. It was long and not very interesting. The strong female main character was really the only interesting part of the novel.

      Lost interest quickly

      Entertaining light weight reading from back when Mary Higgins Clark still felt original.
    • 4/5
      Very interesting mystery. I know I say that for a lot of her books, but it’s true. However they mostly all follow the same pattern, so it’s rather hard to discern a difference base on that. They all have very different ideas and characters, but the plot, in the end, is always very similar.
    • 5/5
      this book makes you not what to put it down. the susence will make yopu feel as if you were the charater in her book.its about this man who buys rings for this loved ones and inscribes them with " you belong to me" that he take them out on a trip or a cruiz and everntually kills them. He win them over with jewlery and gifts to make them not suspect anything.
    • 3/5
      This was your usual MHC fare. By halfway through the book I was pretty certain which guy was the bad guy and which ones were just red herrings. Though I was a bit sad that the bad guy was who he was, because I liked the character.

      Thank you to Simon & Schuster Canada and NetGalley for providing me with an e-copy of You Belong to Me by Colin Harrison in exchange for any honest review. Paul Reeves, an immigration lawyer and antique New York maps collector, finds himself caught in the middle of the marriage of two of his neighbors. Though he is not involved, he witnesses what can happen when a wife is reunited with a former lover and how her jealous and wealthy husband copes with the situation. The story line winds around many turns and introduces several characters who get involved in this crumbling marriage, one way or another. Few will be standing at the end and the reader will get hooked into following who will do what to whom. A great read that does not disappoint.
    • 3/5
      An immigration lawyer who collects rare NYC maps; a beautiful blond neighbor cheating on her rich Iranian husband; a pesky, annoying girlfriend; a former Army Ranger from Texas in love with the beautiful blond - how could anything possibly go wrong with any of that? On the gritty streets of New York, it certainly does. Paul Reeves, the hero map collector, seems affable, diffident, cool, calm and collected but very clever, intelligent and resourceful, so much so that it seems he could have had a former life that we learn nothing about in this book. Everything is tied up neatly at the end. Moderately entertaining.
